Harold Evans and News Man's English
Harold Evans, the legendary editor of London Times wrote a series of books on newspaper production. The first part of it is called News Man's English. I find the book very useful. It must have been written in the late sixties. Do people still use it? I think it is a useful guide for English language users outside journalistic field as well. In many Indian universities this series is still an important part of the journalism syllabus. Is it available now? I found a 1973 original edition in a library. Has it had later editions? Has there been any other similar and more recent books dealing with new English? Would like to know.
Thanks in anticipation

www.amazon.co.uk lists several books by Harold Evans. Once you get the titles, you can use any search engine to look for any (more) reviews.

He did at least keep his 'Insight' team on the thalidomide affair.

Although he was also Editor-in-Chief of both (at the same time, but not at the same time as he was editor of either of them).
